well if the person who has spent their whole life in politics and academia (and has never run a business/ had to meet a payroll) thinks more stimulus is the key...who am I to argue? (rolling eyes)

We NEED a second stimulus because the first stimulus missed its goal of killing off the free economy!

They actually think that spending money we don’t have on make-work projects will “stimulate the economy”. Did they not learn anything from watching the USSR collapse while they had 100% employment?

In spite of the Communist In Chief, the Economy will turn around to some extent. These clowns will try to in act some lame brain legislation every four months so they can claim when the inevitable happens “we turned it around” with such and such.....blah blah blah

I’m not actually referring to any forthcoming legislation, so much as the bounce that we’ll see in the stock market the day after Obama’s lapdogs get neutered.

The long-run debt problem the result of imprudent fiscal decisions before the recession, escalating health care costs and an aging population must be addressed once the economy has recovered. But for now the priorities of fiscal policy should be jobs and investment. I need some help from my "Liberal Friends." If I understand this right the economic crisis is a result of Bush and Clinton, and Bush Senior and Ronald Reagan and Carter running up the deficit by spending more than we have revenue.
This is the part that puzzles me. The cure for the present economic crisis per Obama and the New York Times is to spend more than our revenue and to tax more than now. The proposed new taxes are far less than the new deficit spending. I am confused.
Bush deficit bad, Obama deficit more than Bush deficit good? Perhaps a greater mind than mine, such as Krugman of the New York Times can explain this to me.

Cut off all government waste “stimulus” of money and wipe out those living on credit or we are in for another 10+ years of depression just like the one that FDR forced on us.

That's my fear as well. They think they have to do something to save the economy, but they're too stupid to realize they're actually sowing the seeds of a miserable future.

In spite of the Communist In Chief, the Economy will turn around to some extent. Not sure I can share your optimism.

The first paragraph says it all. Are there any leaders left with common sense?
Isn’t it foolish to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result?
These people are fools!

I have never had the chance to post this before, but this looks like a good place. It is a long video, but well worth it. Here's a very good interview and debate including Laura Tyson in 1994:
